Which beachfront hotel is best to stay at in Dubai?

From messages by 3 participants in 1 source · Last activity: 59 days ago

TL;DR

Travelers recommend beachfront hotels with their own private grounds — Address, InterContinental, Le Meridien, and Dusit near Sarai — while warning about the Sarai/Bahi area where the promenade is unfinished and crowded with laborers.

What the community said

Wyndham is said to offer more varied dining than Bahi, while Bahi has the advantage of being closer to the beach.

Wyndham

A stay at Dusit was quoted at about RUB 173,000 for 11 nights with breakfast; for a beach holiday, choosing a hotel with its own pool was recommended.

Bahi is on the first line with its own, though small, beach; some loungers are set on the lawn rather than the sand.

Bahi

Mira Mar is considered dated compared with more modern beachfront hotels; in one tour operator's informal ranking, Address and InterContinental are placed above it.

Le Meridien gets praised for consistent quality: one traveler has been staying there since 2018, the beach loungers are the same, but it's pricier due to the higher hotel category and better lifeguard service.

Le Meridien

The Address hotel is a repeatedly recommended option — one guest stayed there 4 times, praising the food, open beachfront, entertainment options, and no issues finding spots by the pool or on the beach.

Address Hotel

Last year the same traveler tried InterContinental and plans to return to Address — both are noted as solid choices for a beach vacation.

InterContinental

The Sarai and Bahi area is not recommended for a stay: the promenade there is unfinished, and many migrant laborers live right on the street around it — uncomfortable for a family vacation. Better to pick a hotel with its own enclosed grounds.

Sarai / Bahi area

Near Sarai, travelers liked the Dusit hotel as a more comfortable alternative in that area.
